Berkowitz's new book Jews and
Photography in Britain is the first-ever historical investigation of its
type, beginning in the mid-nineteenth century and closing with the Queen's
controversial photo-shoot with Annie Leibovitz in 2007. While little noticed by
scholars and critics, the factor of ethnic difference in photography has been
critical in the development of a distinctive visual culture in the
UK.Joel Hardman (Digital Presence)Belinda Edith Stojanovic2015-10-13T11:06:05ZUCL Art Museum2015-11-24T18:30:00Z2015-11-24T19:45:00ZSir Martin Gilbert Obituaryhttp://www.ucl.ac.uk/hebrew-jewish/hjs-news-pub/sir-martin-gilbert-obituary Sir Martin Gilbert (z''l), Visiting Jewish

provides the first detailed linguistic analysis of the Hebrew narrative
literature composed in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Eastern
Europe by followers of the Hasidic spiritual movement. It presents a thorough
description of Hasidic Hebrew orthography, morphology, syntax, and lexis
illustrated with extensive examples. Attention is devoted to the relationship
between Hasidic Hebrew and its biblical, rabbinic, and medieval antecedents; to
its links with Aramaic, contemporaneous Maskilic Hebrew, and its authors’
native Yiddish; and to its contributions to Modern (Israeli) Hebrew. The
grammar fills a major scholarly gap on the diachronic development of Hebrew and
as such will be a key resource for anyone interested in the language’s history.Joel Hardman (Digital Presence)Belinda Edith Stojanovic2014-10-28T13:21:58ZAHRC Grants PhD Fellowship for Dubno Projecthttp://www.ucl.ac.uk/hebrew-jewish/hjs-news-pub/ahrc-grants-phd-fellowship-for-dubno-project The AHRC London Arts and
